I found this bug on a wall in the bathroom and wanted to know what it was. What is this and is it harmful? It was very small I thought it was a piece of dust or lint and then I discovered that a creature was inside of the tube shape. kind of like a snail. The image shows this better than I can describe it. I have never seen anything like this before. Where did this come from? Is this harmful to pets?
